NGT College Football Playoffs and the SEC

As someone with access to college tape and staff of 11 former NFL scouts that logged hundreds of hours evaluating this CFB season, it's easy to see why SEC coaches are upset with final playoff bracket.

Based strictly off future NFL talent, Alabama, South Carolina, & Ole Miss (and you can even throw in Florida, Texas A&M, and LSU for that matter) are all easily in Top-12.

SEC ADs now have no incentive for scheduling tough non-conference opponents moving forward, which is too bad for college fans.

This is true. My point is when a league gets so massive that good teams will be left out. I am a bit cynical and believe this plays into hands of SEC. Short term they have a team snubbed but this stuff will lead to more expansion so we will see 5-6 SEC teams in playoff eventually

If we have 6-7 playoff worthy teams in one league and only 12 spots it's gonna happen. I am guessing SEC will fight to expand field to 24 eventually so they can get 8 teams in the field or see 30 or so teams break off and play each other for their own national title.

I like the quote about not scheduling tough out of conference games.  Pretty much the same as it was before. 

Bama lost 3 games in conference this year including to Vandy.  They lost to f¥cking Vanderbilt and people are crying they should be in the playoffs.  If it was a 4 team playoff they wouldn't even be in the discussion.  If they had 2 losses they would be in.
